Soundgarden

In February 2015, when Soundgarden performed "Been Away Too Long" at Festival Hall in Melbourne, they were in a crucial phase of their career, riding the wave of their comeback album, *King Animal*. Released in 2012, *King Animal* marked Soundgarden's first studio album in over 16 years, reigniting their presence in the rock scene after a long hiatus. This live recording not only captures their raw energy but also highlights the band’s ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary sound. Interestingly, "Been Away Too Long" serves as an anthem of resilience and resurgence, echoing the band's journey back into the spotlight. The fact that they returned to Australia—a country that embraced their alternative sound—is a testament to their enduring legacy. With Chris Cornell's iconic vocals and the band's signature heavy riffs, this performance is a heartfelt reminder of why Soundgarden remains a pillar of rock music.
